+ 25% BHP mod

agplant · Feb 19, 2007

Has anyone used or tried the mod (often seen on ebay) for petrol VW engines (25 extra bhp)?
Its a resistor that goes in place of the air inlet temp sensor.

Dont even think of it-do a search and the forums will tell you all you need to know.

Dont be a sucker, Do you really think people would be paying £500+ for re-maps if this 5p resistor from maplins really worked safly? It just fools your ecu in to thinking that there is more air coming into the system there for it pumps more fuel in eventully would proberly knacker your engine. Im pretty sure thats how it works anyway. I`ve always worked on the moto if your going to do somthing do it properly and that means a re-map with the correct mods.

i think it tells the ECU that the air is colder (therefore denser). the resistor goes on the temp sensor.

these have got to be one of the stupidest mods ever (if u can call it a mod), its basically aimed at chavs who get excited about getting an extra horsepower out of their 1.2 corsa!
